a GAMBLERS BANK.

The recent collapse of the Fidelity
Bank of Cincinnati should be warning
to depositors in the future. People who
have sums of money to lay away will be
careful that those with whom they deposit
it are honest and responsible men. That
vague, indefnaole mystery which hovers
around the very term "bank'' will lose
much of its influence and, when entrust-
ing money to the safe-keeping of an in
stitution, the conduct and character of its
managers will be observed and inquired
into. GAS good as the bank" will not
always mean what it first meant /. e.
Gas good as the bank of England" 1t is
probably this very institution which has
nurtured the general, unquestioning faith
in the fnancisl solidity and inexhaustible
resources of any institution that has the

THE Abilene News thus calls attention
to the vast area of Texas: eve often
speak of Abilene as being in West Texas
This is more because of its being on the
frontier OF settlement than anything else
1t is in point of fact not more than fifty
miles from the geographical center of the
state, and it is nearer the center than any
other town Of any size in the state. 1t is
in the central part of Central Texas
and is fast becoming known as the best
section of country in the entire state.''
Abilene Is miles from Fort Worth and
Fort Worth is miles from the eastern

KRUMs
Town Half Way Between Fort Worth
and GainesViIlo.

a Town Half Way Between Fort Worth
and Gainesville,
Correspondence of the Gazette.
KRUM, TEX, June 28.-This little town
is on the Santa Fe Railway, half way be
tween Fort Worth and Gainesville, sur
rounded by the finest farming lands in
Denton county. and is the shipping point
for the large scope Of country lying west
of the railroad in Denton county and the
eastern part of Wise county, which ir-
cludes the rich bottom lands on the two
Hickorys and Clear creek.
Threshing is well under way. The
yield is: Wheat, from fifteen to twenty
bushels; oats, from forty to sixty bushels
per acre, which is better than was ex-
pected. Corn ls in fine shape and will
make full crop.
This is good point for a
grain buyer to locate. The Santa
Fe Is giving low rates on grain
and expect large shipments from here. A
good lumber yard and general merchan-
disc store are needed here and would
pay. The railroad company owns the
town site, 200 acres, and are very liberal
with anyone DESTROYS of building or start
ing in business. The town is situated on
high rolling prairie, about seven miles
west of the Cross TimbeTs. The country
is very pretty to look at and unsurpassed
for health; the never ceasing breeze
drives away all malaria and makes the
hottest days cool and pleasant. Anyone
wishing to go into business would do
well to see this place and its advantages
before deciding. We hope to have cot
ton gin and mill before fall, which will
save farmers an eight mile haul, big
item in bad weather.

Egcape in Dakota,
ST. PAUL, MINI. June 2S.-The
Pioneer Press has news from Biackioot,
d. T., of a most daring and successful
jail delivery there last night. Henry
Nickerson, for horse stealing, was fur
nished with a revolver by ais wife, who
was visiting him daily. With the revol-
yer Nickerson held up the guard who
accompanied his wife to the cell. The
pair disarmed the guard and locked him
in the cell. He then liberated A. j.
Woods, o negro wife murderer, and one
Williams, also convicted of murder,
both sentenced to hang July 90,
and another horse thief, and locking
up the rest of the watchmen
the entire party escaped to the outside,
where horses were waiting them. Woods,
weighing $50 pounds, took TO the brush
on foot, The others fed on horseback
The Sheriff returned an hour later, orr
ganizsd 8 posse and soon recaptured
Woods, bat was still in pursuit of the
Others at last accounts. As the crimi-
nails are armed desperate fight is likely.

THE American Banker says that it is to
be hoped that some scheme for funding
our national debt st small interest may
be devised so that no more bonds upon
which the national banks are founded
may be called in. Doubtless this would
suit the national bankers hut by the time
these gentlemen bump up against the
business end of Democratic admins

OF this country do not believe in the di-

sign of bank displayed. The Fidelity
Bank of Cincinnati was conducted by
! few daring and wonderfully successful
gamblers who made their money by des-
perate games in the commercial world
They secured the unbounded confidence
of the people and thousands upon
thousands contided their money to their
keeping, in the comfortable and credu-
] lous belief that it was absolutely safe.
Banks throughout the country made large
deposits of their funds in this vast con-
Germ, until in all it is claimed that sum
approximating S6,0OO,OOO had been paid
in over the counter Of the institution.
This money, which people had placed for
safe keeping in what was popularity be-
lieved TO be the most substantial
bank in the state, was being
shipped Off to Chicago, and bet
in vast sums upon the price of wheat. It
is called "business," or al worst, "specu-
lation," in commercial circles, but it is
simply gsmbling-betting on contingen-
cies; Just the same as betting on any
of the games displayed in what is known
as a gambling house. The Cincinnati
men robbed their bank of trust funds and
bet that wheat would advance in price.
They bet wrong. Wheat went down,
making plunge of 10 cents a bushel in
one day, and the Cincinnati gamblers lost
their money. 1t is quite possible that
these men will be punished. They are
guilty Of crime as great as any other
bank ROBBERS, and the United States
government will likely deal with them as
with any others. The Chicago gamblers
won and the Chicago banks are now
overlooking with money. But those Chi
cago banks should be investigated, They
have won large sum, it is true, but this
fact is evidence that they had large sums
wagered on the issue or, in other words,
on the turn of card. Tue government
should publish all banks engaged in
speculation or speculative enterprises,
and in this manner people would know
which to shun.

GENERAL AFFORDS regret at being
compelled to parallel the Fort Worth and

admires the General and appreciates his
unwilltngness TO do aught that would
ipjure our own Fort Worth and Denver.
Because Gifts good will for General Al
ford, THE GAZETTE begs him not to indulge
premature grief; this world is so full of
occasions for tears that all should wait
until the evil befalls and then prepare to
shed the tears they have to shed.

THE GAZETTE would again urge upon
the voters that each one of the amend
ments submitted to the people must stand
or fall upon It's merits as q dis
tinct proposition. The prohibition
amendment so engrosses public
attention that little consider
alton is being given to the others. 1t
has suited the selfish purpose of som e
men to tell the people that vote for or
against prohibition is also q vote for or
against all the other proposed amend
ments. This is untrue. Each amend
ment proposed is q separate proposition,
and no one of the proposed amendments
will be affected by any vote cast for any
other one of the proposed amendments.

exactly what is the matter with the Crown

that is to say, sort of an elephsntatis of

there are no morbid elements in the
